FAQ’s & Services

WHO ARE WE?

We are specialists in travel to Sicily and can create the experience of a lifetime for you

WHY USE A SICILIAN CONCIERGE SERVICE?

We are not a travel agency. We love Sicily and know her intimately. We have spent the better part of seven (7) years learning all of the secrets Sicily has to tell. We are a tour operator and a travel planner who designs CUSTOM trips for our clients EXCLUSIVELY in Sicily. We are at your service to design SPECIFICALLY for you. We DO NOT work with incoming agencies. The map of Sicily is in our head! We have been gathering the best of the best. To paraphrase Caesar, “We came, We fell in love, We want to share!”

WHAT DO WE OFFER?

We offer either CONSULTATION or FULL SERVICE. Either process begins with a signed contract and non-refundable fee.

CONSULTATION

SELF SERVICE: For those who thrive on putting together the pieces of their own puzzle, and only want a little guidance, we consult. Consultation is based on a 3 hour minimum. Clients are responsible for their own arrangements and for the payment of those arrangements. We are your counsel, therefore we let you handle all of the particulars; you will be making your own reservations.
FULL SERVICE: When you say “SI, SI, SI” to Sicily alla AngelinaVagabonda, you only have to think about making your flights. Once your Custom itinerary has been designed and agreed upon, we will handle the reservations and payments on your behalf. With FULL SERVICE contracts, you will receive a packet of travel information prior to your departure. We only accept full service planning when hotel reservations are part of the itinerary.

In my life I have never felt as beautiful as I do in Sicily. It doesn’t matter if I am wearing a “vestito per a casa” (a dress/garment ONLY to be worn at home – not in public), something more classic, or something more revealing. The first time I was in Europe, I […]

Ustica, a small island off the northern coast of Sicily, opposite Palermo has the ability to transport you to as simple a life as you could imagine. During the year, there are about 1000 inhabitants. In the summer, it’s another story. Ustica lines transports many people every summer from Sicily. Because I have […]

My house is near the sea – a walk, the distance of maybe 30 yards. Within my neighborhood, there is a very diverse environment. Because it is off the beaten path and a little quirky, there are buildings that were built 35 years ago without the proper zoning; Because the zoning was non […]

If you want to have an authentic experience and look like you belong while immersing yourself in Sicily, keep the below travel tips in mind. Don’t order a cappuccino after noon in Sicily.

From Sicily, 8,000 miles away, you don’t need me to tell you that when an Italian sets the table, the table is set! In Sicily, there are three “F’s”; you know the first, the other two are food and family OR family and food. Al fresco – eating outside in the summer is never given […]

The first thing I do every morning at my Sicilian house is open the front door, front wooden shutters and the iron gate. This is both practical and symbolic. I want to let in all of Sicily. To quote Rosalind Russell in the production of “Mame,” “life is a banquet and most people are starving.” […]

Every morning in the summer where I live there are the local fishermen who set out a couple of polls and wait for the fish to bite. Maybe they will have luck, maybe not. That’s not the point. They are in touch with the bigness of the sea and what they see while they are […]

My education was at an all-girls catholic high school, with one male teacher, 5-6 ‘lay’ teachers and the rest were nuns. I was taught the classics – mythology and Latin were among my classes. I remember reading, in Latin, (the drudgery of the Latin pronunciations is indelible in my memory) the story of Icarus and […]

For those of you who have never been to Europe, there are outdoor markets – EVERYWHERE! You can buy anything at the outdoor markets in every country and every city. I love the outdoor markets. Why? Because I am a peddler and I use this term endearingly! Ever since I was a kid, I sold […]

So, I buy a house in a country that shops everyday – “fare le spezie.” What do I hate to do? Shop for groceries! There are those Sicilians who still believe that if you buy your necessary items for ‘cena’ (the evening meal) at the same time you are buying your food items for pranzo […]

Along the coast of Sicily, there are many beaches. On the East Coast, the Ionian Sea, along the straights of Messina they are sometimes sandy but mostly black volcanic boulders. On the North Coast, there is sand and stones. For most of my life I have pushed the river. Although I have been advised by […]

My Sicily, the Sicily that I prefer is the Sicily of Spring or Fall. Summer not only embraces the sun and the tourists, but Granita, one of the true indicators of summer.
